-hoping that an NBA championship for LeBron means all the naysayers, all the haters, all the critics of LBJ are silenced permanently.
Truth be told, LeBron is not my favourite basketball player. I'm a fan of Durant and Chris Paul.
After being a witness to LeBron's monster performance in the playoffs, I have great respect and admiration for this player and his game.
LeBron was the most scrutinized professional athlete after "The Decision" to play in Miami. He was tentative in the NBA finals vs. Dallas.
What does LeBron do? He looks himself in the mirror, and tells himself that he needs to improve his game. He starts with hiring Hakeem Olajuwon to help develop his game in the post.
Then he plays excellent basketball against Indiana and Boston in the playoffs. That game 6 win when he dropped 42 points on Boston's court was one of the most clutch performances that I've ever seen from an NBA star.
His triple double in game 5 today was a thing of beauty.
LeBron makes plays, can score in many different ways, and can guard players at all positions. His passing is as good as his shooting.
-simply the best professional basketball player right now. He has my respect.
